Author's
Note: I got
this story idea when I was in the car traveling past the beautiful sequoia
trees. It was originally going to be called Casual Goodbyes and be a sweet
little love story for Ash and Misty but I got this fantastic idea that involved
a fiery red stone and a cute little music locket. So now it is a sweet AAMR
plus a lot of action. I do warn people, it is a bit sad. It does have deaths
that involve no returns. And I am perfectly sane; I have a wonderful family;
and I just wrote this for fun. I wasn't hyper either. Please do not flame me.
And if you have to, be gentle. I love tips and pointers on where to take a
story. Please do not try to correct my grammar; I will do it myself. It can not
be helped by you nagging me. I have almost all of this plotted out in my head
and the people who will die and survive are already mapped out. Except for one…
I do not want to hear any "kill Misty" things. That includes with all the
characters. Everything else, I except. Oh, and read Faith in a Child if you
haven't already. It's a 10/10.

"Ash! Dinner!" Delilah shouted
from the porch.

Ash, now
five, sat with his friend on a quilt laid out on his grassy front yard. They
all had familiar cards in their hands.

"Coming, in a minute!" Ash
called back.

He turned
back to his two friends with a smirk on his face,

"Raichu beats all!" He laughed
placing down his card.

Gary
blinked in shock,

"That was my last card!"

"What is so surprising, Gary? He
always wins." A girl muttered grimly putting down her Caterpie and Rattatta
cards.

"But Duplica! He shouldn't be
able to win! That was a Arcanine!"

"I wore it down with Pikachu!"
Ash laughed, "And then beat it with Raichu!"

"He has the mind of the Pokemon
Master." Duplica shook her head, smiling at him with a bright golden eyes.

"And twice the ego." Gary
groaned as Ash got up and began dancing around happily.

Ash
prepared to run back into his mother's arms when he froze. His eyes planted on
a family passing by.

"Duplica!" The tall man called,
"Come now! We have to go home for dinner."

The light
blue girl got up and ran into her father's arms. Her mother smiled happily. Ash
watched them leave depression sinking over him. He sank to his knees.

Mrs.
Ketchum ran to her child's side, tripping in her rush. She reached Ash first.
Gary quickly followed.

"Ash! Are you okay?" Gary asked.

"He'll been fine." Mrs. Ketchum
sighed hugging her son to her chest. Ash began to cry silently,

"I want dad back."

Misty picked her pokeball off
the ground and glared at Ash loathingly,

"Took
you long enough! He almost killed me!"

Ash returned the glare,

"I
warned you about these people. It is not my fault that you didn't listen." With
that he turned and gave a look to Pikachu that clearly said you too.

"I had no choice. You should of come with us."

"You
aren't the only one who was almost killed tonight, you know!" Ash snapped.

Misty blinked. His shoulder…

Ash saw what she was staring at
and hid it from view…

"You're
healed…But how?"

"Come
on. Do you want a ride home, or not?" Ash said coldly walking off. Pikachu
followed, it's head bowed from it's scolding.

Misty stood there in the silence
trying to figure out what had accorded… Butch's words still rang clear in her
mind…

"You must
of thought…what did he call himself…Aj was just a trainer. But he is more then
that."

"So what is he?" Her voice echoing
about her.

There was silence in the car as
Ash drove them home. Ash wondered if he had been too hard on her or something.
But he couldn't force himself to look at her.

"I
owe that Butch a punch." She finally broke the silence, "What a jerk!"

Ash let out a snicker which he
quickly tried to cover up.

"What
do you think I can't?"

"No.
No- It's not that-"

"Then
what is it?!" Misty growled.

"Well,
It's quite funny…"

"What?!"

Ash keep his eyes on the road
not knowing how she would react. Maybe she would guess, maybe she would look at
him weird…

"You're
so beautiful when you're angry."

Of all the things Misty
expected, this was far off her list. She gapped at Ash will a look of shock on
her face.

Ash didn't return her gaze. But
he did, as Misty noticed, begin to sweat.

She shock it off. It was then
that Misty realized she was still wearing Aj's cloak…

"Here…"Misty
tired to give it back to him.

"No
you keep it." Ash smiled painfully, "I don't need it. Just think of it…to
remember me by…Here we are."

Ash pulled over in front of the
Cerulean gym. Misty again gave him a suspicious look again,

"How
did you know I lived at the Cerulean gym?"

"Lucky
guess." Ash smiled pulling out a newspaper with the headline,

Beautiful Misty Wildflower Takes Over Cerulean Gym

And underneath that was a big
article and her picture.

Misty reddened in the cheeks,

"Oh.
Of course."

"Move
like over, Daisy!" Violet hissed trying to push the blond out of the
window that she was looking through,
"Like, I want to see."

"Whoa!
Like, he is hot!" Daisy cried, "Misty like reeled in a like good one this
time!"

Lily, who sat a bit farther away
from the group, looked up from the magazine she was looking over. She looked a
bit worried,

"What
does he look like?"

Violet finally managed to push
Daisy out of the way and looked out in to the pitch black,

"Whoa!
Like, I'd trade Paten in for him like any day!" Violet gasped, "No fair that Misty
like got him!"

"But
what does he look like?!" Lily snapped.

Ash looked over Misty one more
time,

"Well-"

"Hold
on! I want to show you to my sisters!" Misty smiled pulling on his wrist,
"Don't worry. They won't bite."

She pulled Ash to the front door
as Ash attempted to pulled the other way. Pikachu followed chuckling darkly,

'Wait
till Lily sees you…'

"They're
coming!" Violet cried, "Hurry get into places…"

Before Misty could even touch
the door knob it burst open with Violet and Daisy standing there smiling,

"Hello.
Oh dear. Who is this?" Daisy said clearly for once.

Ash wondered what happened to
the likes in every other sentence.

"Daisy,
Violet. I like you to meet Aj." Misty introduced proudly.

Ash waved faintly and smiled
weakly,

"Hi."

Both Daisy and Violet's eyes lit
up,

"Aj!
Oh. Aj and Misty sitting in a-" Violet sang before Daisy smacked a hand over
her mouth.

"Hi.
Nice to meet you." Daisy grinned.

"Where
is Lily?" Misty asked.

Ash turned pale…

Lily
emerged from between the two sisters.

Oh gosh. This is the end. The end
of me…

She
cast a suspicious glance at Misty and Ash and smiled sweetly,

"Hi
Aj. My names Lily."

Ash glanced over his shoulder to
see Pikachu talking to someone…Someone familiar…

Mom?

Ash looked back too the girls
and smiled kindly,

"Well,
It's all be terrific meeting you but I really must go."

He turned to Misty and gave her
a soft kiss on the cheek,

"See
ya later."

And off he went.

Misty sat frozen clutching her
cheek in shock. She flushed.

"Awe."
Daisy and Violet chimed, "How sweet."

Misty glared at them,

"It's
not love!"

"Our
little Misty's growing up so fast!" Daisy cooed.

She pushed past them angrily and
went strait to her room. Lily looked out into the distance were Aj's car
was…Gary's car was…

"Ash
you do be careful…" Lily hissed.

To be continued…

expected this chapter to be…But what the heck! Makes up for the killer chapter
before this…
